I argue for your definition:
"Big data is when the size of the data becomes part of the problem."
Mike Loukides (O'Reilly) mentioned to me that Roger Magoulas (O'Reilly) was the first he heard using that definition.
According to this definition, physicists in the 80's were doing big data.
- xradionut 14y agoPeople in science and commerce know data issues and have been dealing with the practice, analysis and theory for years. O'Reilly's just pimpin' the term "Big Data" to sell books. They did the same with "Web 2.0", Java and the initial internet boom.
- dbecker 14y agoO Reilly may be pimping the term to developers, but that's nothing compared to how Cloudera has pimped "Big Data" to enterprise.
